Linden Stores

Linden Stores: a family-run village spot in beautiful Knutsford serving interesting wines and seasonal British sharing dishes owners by couple Laura Christie and Chris Boustead.

Laura (front of house) and Chris (Head Chef) met in 2011 in London, where they worked for some of the most exciting restaurants in the capital and opened the original Linden Stores in Islington in 2017. They have since moved to Cheshire with their son and some time assistant Ollie and taken Linden Stores with them, opening in the beautiful village of Audlem, November 2021 and now open in Knutsford from November 2023.

Linden Stores is named after the street Chris grew up on in Scarborough North Yorkshire, and the whole menu is a nod to the hearty flavours of his childhood.

Hungry locals and visitors alike can look forward to the likes of Pickled mussels; Black pudding scotch egg; Bubble and squeak croquettes; Partridge, squash purée, cavolo nero, and black current jus; Smoked crispy spuds with bovril Mayo and Yorkshire Parkin.

Linden Stores has an exciting collection of well priced and accessible wine available both in the restaurant and retail to take away as well as a selection of British food products and a menu of beautiful plates designed to share. There will also be an online offering for local delivery and collection from the shop of specially selected wine crates, and a selection of hampers.

Linden Stores is also available for private hire at no cost and has a busy schedule of wine tastings and events viewable on their website.
